| OMAHA, June 2l.-General Traffic
Manager Thos. L. Kimball, of the Union
Pacific, was examined by the Pacific
Railway Commission to-day regarding
the subject of defeating legislation hos
tile to the company. He had generally
undertaken to persuade the legislators
that such legislation was not for the in.
terest Of their constituents. He did not
know OF the use OF money by
the company to Influence legislation.
Members of Legislatures equally had
free passes offered them, and il not of.
tered they would ask for them-espe-
cially the anti monopoly members,
whom he defined as members who be.
-lieved everything iustifiable to defeat
whatever was wanted by the railroad
company. In reply to a question
Kimball admitted that he had
nation of the election OF defeat of
candidates. Where men were nomi-
irsted expressly for the purpose of at.
tacking the interest of the road they felt
justified in doing everything possible
legitimately to defeat them. Iu some
such cases he had used money, not the
compauy's money. but his own, and dur.
ing some campaign of the past he might
have paid some expense for the COM
pauy, but his practice had been his own
political bills. He had at times
requested but not instructed the en-
ployes to vote in the interests of the
company.

cents apiece. On being informed that

Her influence has been great and salr-

using her prerogative for the public veal
she has never been tempted to strain its
exercise"

at the Jubilee is the plentitude
of events which have crowded the last

they have great reason for gratitude.

by the more end more far-sighted and
resolute facing of great and inevitable
